THE DRUG TRUST
In 1987, the eighteen largest drug firms were ranked as follows:

1, Merck (U.S.) $4.2 billion in sales.

2. Glaxo Holdings (United Kingdom) $3.4 billion.

3. Hoffman LaRoche (Switzerland) $3.1 billion.

4. Smith Kline Beckman (U.S.) $2.8 billion.

5. Ciba-Geigy (Switzerland) $2.7 billion. 6. Pfizer (U.5.) $2.5
billion (Standard & Poor's gives sales as $4 billion).

6. Pfizer (U.S.) $2.5 billion (Standard & Poor's gives its sales as
$4 billion.)

7. Hoechst A. G. (Germany) $2.5 billion (Standard & Poor's lists its
sales as $38 Billion Deutschmarks).

8. American Home Products (U.S.) $2.4 billion ($4.93 billion
according to Standard & Poor's).

9. Lilly (U.S.) $2.3 billion ($3.72 billion Standard & Poor's).

10. Upjohn (U.S.) $2 billion.

11. Squibb (U.S.) $2 billion.

12. Johnson & Juhnson (U.S.) $1.9 billion.

13. Sandoz (Switzerland) $1.8 billion.

14. Bristol Myers (U.S.) $1.6 billion.

15. Beecham Group (United Kingdom) $1.4 billion (Standard & Poor's
gives $1.4 billion in sales of the U.S. subsidiary-$2.6 billion
pounds sterling as overall income).

16. Bayer A. G. (Germany) $1.4 bilIion (Standard & Poor's gives the
figure as $45.9 billion Deutschmarks).

17. Syntex (U.S.) $1.1 billion.

18. Warner Lambert (U.S.) $1.1 billion (Standard & Poor's gives the
figure as $3.1 billion).

Thus we find that the United States still maintains an overwhelming
lead in the production and sale of drugs. In the United States, the
sale of prescription drugs rose in 1987 by 12.5% to $27 billion.
Eleven of the eighteen leading firms are located in the United
States; three in Switzerland; two in Germany; and two in the United
Kingdom. Nutritionist T.J. Frye notes that the Drug Trust in the
United States is controlled by the Rockefeller group in a cartel
relationship with I.G. Farben of Germany. In fact, I.G. Farben was
the largest chemical concern in Germany during the 1930s, when it
engaged in an active cartel agreement with Standard Oil of New
Jersey. The Allied Military Government split it up into three
companies after World War II, as part of the "anti-cartel" goals of
that period, which was not unlike the famed splitting up of Standard
Oil itself by court order, while the Rockefellers maintained
controlling interest in each of the new companies. In Germany,
General William Draper, of Dillon Read investment bankers, unveiled
the new decree from his office in the I.G. Farben building.
Henceforth, I.G. Farben would exist no more; instead, three companies
would emerge-Bayer, of Leverkusen; BASF at Ludwigshafen; and Hoescht,
near Franfort. Each of the three spawns is now larger than the old
I.G. Farben; only ICI of England is larger. These firms export more
than half of their product. BASF is represented in the United States
by Shearman and Sterling, the Rockefeller law firm of which William
Rockefeller is a partner.

The world's No. 1 drug firm, Merck, began as an apothecary shop in
Darmstadt, Germany, in 1668. Its president, John J. Horan, is a
partner of J.P. Morgan Company, and the Morgan Guaranty Trust. He
attended a Bilderberger meeting in Rye, New York, May 10-12,1985. In
1953, Merck absorbed another large drug firm, Sharp & Dohme. At that
time, Oscar Ewing the central figure in the government Floridation
promotion for the Aluminum Trust, was secretary of the Merck firm,
his office then being at One Wall Street, New York.

Directors of Merck include John T. Connor, who began his business
career with Cravath, Swaine and Moore, the law firm for Kuhn,Loeb
Company; Connor then joined the Office of Naval Research, became
Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Navy 1945-47, became
president of Merck, then president of Allied Stores from 1967-80,
then chairman of Schroders, the London banking firm. Connor is also a
director of a competing drug firm, Warner Lambert, director of the
media conglomerate Capital Cities ABC, and director of Rockefeller's
Chase Manhattan Bank. Each of the major drug firms in the United
States has at least one director with close Rockefeller connections,
or with a Rothschild bank. Another director of Merck is John K.
McKinley, chief operating officer of Texaco; he is also a director of
Manufacturers Hanover Bank, which Congressional records identify as a
major Rothschild bank. McKinley is also a director of the aircraft
firm, Martin Marietta, Burlington Industries, and is a director of
the Rockefeller-controlled Sloan Kettering Cancer Institute. Another
Merck director is Ruben F. Mettler, chairman of the defense
contractor TRW, Inc.; he was formerly chief of the Guided Missiles
Department at Ramo-Wooldridge, and has received the human relations
award from the National Conference of Christians and Jews-he is also
a director of Bank of America.

Other directors of Merck include Frank T. Cary, who was chairman of
IBM for many years; he is also a director of Capital Cities ABC, and
partner of J.P. Morgan Company; Lloyd C. Elam, president of Meharry
Medical College, Nashville, TN, the nation's only black medical
college. Elam is also a director of the American Psychiatric
Association, Nashville City Bank, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation,
which gives him a close connection to Rockefeller's Sloan Kettering
Cancer Center; Marian Sulzberger Heiskell, heiress of the New York
Times fortune. She was married to Orville Dryfoos, the paper's
editor, who died of a heart attack during a newspaper strike; she
then married Andrew Heiskell in a media merger-he was chairman of
Time magazine and had been with the Luce organization for fifty
years. She is also a director of Ford Motor. Heiskell is director of
People for the American Way, a political activist group, chairman of
the New York Public Library, and the Book-of-the-Month Club. Also on
the board of Merck is a family member, Albert W. Merck; Reginald H.
Jones, born in England, formerly chairman of General Electric, now
chairman of the Board of Overseers, Wharton School of Commerce,
director of Allied Stores and General Signal Corporation; Paul G.
Rogers, who served in Congress from the 84th to the 95th Congresses;
he was chairman of the important subcommittee on health; in 1979, he
joined the influential Washington law firm and lobbyist, Hogan and
Hartson. He is also a director of the American Cancer Society, the
Rand Corporation, and Mutual Life Insurance.

Thus we find that the world's No. 1 drug firm has directors who are
partners of J.P. Morgan Company, one who is director of Rockefeller's
Chase Manhattan Bank and who is director of the Rothschild Bank,
Manufacturers Hanover; most of the directors are connected with vital
defense industries, and interlock with other defense firms. On the
board of TRW, of which Ruben Mettler is chairman, is William H. Krome
George, former chairman of ALCOA, and Martin Feldstein, former
economic advisor to President Reagan. The major banks, defense firms,
and prominent political figures interlock with the CIA and the drug
firms.

The No. 2 drug firm is Glaxo Holdings, with $3.4 billion in sales.
Its chairman is Austin Bide; deputy chairman is P. Girolami, who is a
director of National Westminster Bank, one of England's Big Five.
Directors are Sir Alistair Frame, Chairman of Rio Tinto Zinc, one of
the three firms which are the basis of the Rothschild fortune; Frame
is also on the board of another Rothschild holding, the well known
munitions firm, Vickers; also Plessey, another defense firm which
recently bid on a large contract with the U.S. Army; Frame is
president of Britoil, and director of Glaxo are Lord Fraser of
Kilmarnock, who was deputy chairman of the Conservative Party (now
the ruling party in England) from 1946 to 1975, when he joined Glaxo;
Lord Fraser was also a member of the influential Shadow cabinet; B.D.
Taylor, counselor of Victoria College of Pharmacy and chairman of
Wexham Hospital; J.M. Raisman, chairman of Shell Oil UK Ltd., another
Rothschild controlled firm. Lloyd's Bank, one of the Big Five,
British Telecommunications, and the Royal Committee on Environmental
Pollution; Sir Ronald Arculus, retired from Her Majesty's Diplomatic
Service after a distinguished career; he had served in San Francisco,
New York, Washington and Paris; he was then appointed Ambassador to
Italy, and was the UK Delegate to the United Nations Convention on
the Law of the Sea, which sought to apportion marine wealth among the
have-not countries: Arculus is now a director of Trusthouse Forte
Hotels, and London and Continental Bankers; and Professor R. G.
Dahrendorf, one of the world's most active sociologists and a
longtime Marxist propagandist. Dahrendorf, a director of the Ford
Foundation since 1976, is a graduate of the London School of
Economics, professor of sociology at Hamburg and Tubingen,
parliamentary Secretary of State at the Foreign Office, West Germany
since 1976, and has received honors from Senegal, Luxemburg and
Leopold II.

The Rothschilds apparently appointed Dahrendorf a director of Glaxo
because of his emphatic Marxist pronunciamentos. The European
director of the Ford Foundation, he claims, in his book, "Marx in
Perspective," that Marx is the greatest factor in the emergence of
modern society. Dahrendorfs principal contribution to sociology has
been his well-advertised concept of the "new man," whom he has
dubbed "homo sociologicus," a being who has been transformed by
socialism into a person whose every distinctive feature, including
racial characteristics, have disappeared. He is the modern robot, a
uniform creature who can easily be controlled by the force of world
socialism. Dahrendorf is the apostle of the modern faith that there
are no racial differences in any of the various races of mankind; he
denounces any mention of "superiority" or of differing skills
as "ideological distortion." Dahrendorf is a prominent member of the
Bilderbergers; he attended their meeting at Rye, New York from May 10-
12, 1985. He is professor of Sociology at Konstanz University, as
well as his other previously mentioned posts.

Thus we find that the world's No. 2 drug firm is directed by two of
the Rothschild's family's most trusted henchmen and by the world's
most outspoken explicator of Marxism.

The world's No. 3 drug firm, Hoffman LaRoche of Switzerland, is still
controlled by members of the Hoffman family, aIthough there have been
rumors of takeover attempts in recent years. The firm was founded by
Fritz Hoffman, who died in 1920. The firm's first big seller was
Siropin in 1896; its sales of Valium and Librium now amount to one
billion dollars a year; its subsidiary spread the dangerous chemical,
dioxin, over the Italian town, Seveso, which cost $150 million to
clean up in a 10 year campaign. His son's widow, Maya Sacher, is now
married to Paul Sacher, a musician who is conductor of the Basle
Chamber Orchestra. Hoffman had added his wife's name, LaRoche, to the
family company, as is the custom in Europe; the Hoffmans still
control 75% of the voting shares. The Sachers have one of the world's
most expensive art collections, Old Masters and modern paintings.

In 1987, Hoffman LaRoche tried to take over Sterling Drug, a venture
in which they were aided by Lewis Preston, chairman of J.P. Morgan
Company; he also happened to be Sterling's banker. In the ensuing
brouha-ha, Preston decided to retire. Eastman Kodak then bought
Sterling, with backing from the Rockefellers. The chairman of Hoffman
LaRoche is Fritz Gerber, a 58 year old Swiss army colonel. The son of
a carpenter, he became a lawyer, then chairman of Hoffman LaRoche.
Gerber is also a director of Zurich Insurance; thus he is associated
with Switzerland's two biggest firms; he draws a salary of 2.3
million Swiss francs per year, plus a $1.7 million working agreement
with Glaxo holdings.

Hoffman LaRoche received a great deal of publicity in April 1988
because of unfavorable revelations about its acne drug, "Accutane"
after the Food and Drug Administration publicized figures that the
drug had caused 1000 spontaneous abortions, 7000 other abortions, and
other side effects such as joint aches, drying of skin and mucous
membranes, and hair loss. Hoffman LaRoche was faulted by FDA for
purposely omitting women, and particularly pregnant women, from the
studies on which it based requests for approval of Accutane. The
company was aware that Accutane caused serious effects when taken
during pregnancy.

Hard on the heels of the Accutane revelations, Hoffman LaRoche made
new headlines in the Wall Street Journal with Congressman Ted Weiss's
demand, reported on May 6, 1988, that a criminal investigation be
launched of the forty deaths, recorded since 1986, caused by taking
Versed, Hoffman LaRoche's tranquilizer which is a chemical cousin of
its best selling drug, Valium.

The No. 4 drug firm, Smith Kline Beckman, banks with the Mellon Bank.
Its chairman, Robert F. Dee, is a director of General Foods, Air
Products and Chemical and the defense firm, United Technologies,
which interlocks with Citibank. Directors are Samuel H. Ballam, Jr.,
chairman of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, director
of American WaterWorks, Westmoreland Coal Company, General Coal
Company, INA Investment Securities, chairman of CIGNA's High Yield
Fund, and Geothermal Resources International; Francis P. Lucier,
chairman of Black & Decker; Donald P. McHenry former U.S. Ambassador
to the UN, 1979-81, now international advisor to the Council on
Foreign Relations, Trustee of Brookings Institution and the Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace, Ford Foundation, and the super-
secret Ditchley Foundation set up by W. Averell Harriman during World
War II; McHenry is also a director of Coca Cola and International
Paper; Carolyn K. Davis, who was dean of the school of nurses at
University of Michigan 1973-75, Health and Human Services since 1981;
she is also a director of Johns Hopkins.

Other directors of Smith Kline are Andrew L. Lewis, Jr. chairman of
Union Pacific, the basis of the Harriman fortune; he is director of
Ford Motor, trustee in bankruptcy Reading Company, former chairman of
Reagan's transition team and deputy director of the Republican
National Committee; R. Gordon McGovern, chairman of Campbell Soup;
Ralph A. Pfeiffer, Jr., chairman of IBM World Trade Corporation,
American International Far East Corporation, Riggs National Bank, and
chairman U.S.-China Trade Commission; he is also vice chairman of the
key foreign policy operation, Center for Strategic and International
Studies, which was founded by Jeane Kirkpatrick's husband, Evron
Kirkpatrick of the CIA.

The world's No.5 drug firm, Ciba-Geigy of Switzerland, does a billion
dollar a year business in the United States, and operates ten drug
factories here.

Pfizer, No. 6 in size of the world's drug firms, does $4 billion a
year, according to Standard & Poor's; the company banks with
Rockefeller's Chase Manhattan Bank. Pfizer's chairman, Edmund T.
Pratt, Jr., was controller of IBM from 1949 to 1962; he is now a
director of Chase Manhattan Bank, General Motors, International
Paper, the Business Council and the Business Roundtable,two
Establishment organizations; he is also chairman of the Emergency
Committee for American Trade. Pfizer's president is Gerald Laubach,
who joined Pfizer in 1950; he is a member of the council of
Rockefeller University, and director of CIGNA, Loctite, and General
Insurance Corporation; Barber Conable is director of Pfizer; he was a
Congressman representing New York from 1965 to 1985, which would
indicate a close Rockefeller connection; Conable is now president of
the World Bank. Other directors of Pfizer are Joseph B. Flavin, chief
operating officer of the 2 1/2 billion a year Singer Company. Flavin
was with IBM World Trade Corporation from 1953-1967, then president
of Xerox; he is now with the Committee for Economic Development,
Stamford Hospital, Cancer Research Foundation, and the National
Council of Christians and Jews; Howard C. Kauffman, has been
president of EXXON since 1975; he was previously regional coordinator
in Latin America for EXXON, then president of Esso Europe in London;
he is also a director of Celanese and Chase Manhattan Bank; his
office is at One Rockefeller Plaza; James T. Lynn, who was general
counsel for the U.S. Department of Commerce from 1969-71, then Under
Secretary of State 1971-73, and then secretary of HUD 1973-75,
succeeding ing George Romney in that post; Lynn was editor of the
Harvard Law Review, then joined Jones,Day, Reavis and Pogue in 1960
(a large Washington lobbying firm); Lynn accompanied Peter Peterson,
then Secretary of Commerce, formerly chairman of Kuhn, Loeb Company,
to Moscow in 1972, to conclude a trade agreement with the Soviets;
this agreement was concluded in October, 1972; John R. Opel,
president of IBM, director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
Time and the Institute for Advanced Study; Walter B. Wriston,
chairman of Citicorp, director of General Electric, Chubb, New York

ofthe $100 million Revson Foundation (cosmetics fortune), with Simon
Ritkind and Benjamin Buttenweiser, whose wife was attorney for Alger
Hiss while Buttenweiser was Assistant High Commissioner for occupied
West Germany.

Of the major drug firms, none shows more direct connection with the
Rockefeller interests than Pfizer, which banks with the Rockefeller
bank, Chase Manhattan, has as director Howard Kaufmann, president of
Exxon, and Paul Marks of the Rockefeller controlled Sloan Kettering
Cancer Center and Rockefeller Hospital. In most cases, only one
Rockefeller connection is needed to assure control of a corporation.

The No. 7 in world ranked drug firms is Hoechst A. G. of Germany, a
spinoff from I.G. Farben, i.e., Rockefeller Warburg Rothschild
control. It operates a number of plants in the U.S., including
American Hoechst at Somerville, New Jersey, and Hoechst Fibers
Company. Hoechst manufactures the widely used polyester fiber
Trevira, antibiotic food additives for swine and broilers
(Flavomycin), and other pharmaceuticals used in animal raising.

No. 8 in world ranking, American Home Products banks at the
Rothschild Bank, Manufacturers Hanover, and does $3.8 billion a year
($4.93 according to Standard & Poor's). It became even larger by its
recent purchase of A.H. Robins Drug Company of Richmond, VA. A.H.
Robins had gone into bankuptcy after facing $2.5 billion in payments
to some 200,000 women who had been injured by its Dalkon Shield, an
intrauterine device. An inadequately tested vagina clamp caused
severe damage to many women. A French firm, Sanofi, then attempted to
buy the firm, but was beaten out when American Home decided to pay a
premium price for the firm's well known brand names, Chapstick and
Robitussin. American Home's CEO is John W. Culligan, who has been
with the firm since 1937; he is a Knight of Malta, director of Mellon
Bank, Carnegie Mellon University, American Standard, and Valley
Hospital; president of American Home is John R. Stafford, director of
the Rothschild Bank, Manufacturers Hanover; he was formerly general
counsel for the No. 3 ranked drug firm, Hoffmann LaRoche, and partner
of the influential law firm, Steptoe and Johnson. Directors are K. R.
Bergethon of Norway, now president of Lafayette College; A. Richard
Diebold; Paul R. Frohring, and head of the Pharmaceutical Division of
the War Production Board from 1942 to 1946; he is now trustee of John

Mercy Hospital, Navy League, and the Biscayne Yacht Club; William F.
LaPorte, who is director of Manufacturers Hanover Trust, American
Standard, B.F. Goodrich, Dime Savings Bank, and president of the Buck
Hill Falls Company; John F. McGillicuddy, chairman of Manufacturers
Hanover Bank, who recently replaced Lewis Preston of J.P. Morgan
Company as director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (Preston
had been criticized for his role in promoting a deal for Hoffman
LaRoche while engaged as Sterling Drug's banker); John F. Torell III,
president of the Manufacturers Hanover Trust and Manufacturers
Hanover Corporation; H.W. Blades, who was formerly president of Wyeth
Labs, and is now director of Provident Mutual Life Insurance, Wistar
International, Philadephia National Bank, and Bryn Mawr Hospital;
Robin Chandler Duke, of the tobacco family; Edwin A. Gee, director of
Air Products and Chemical, International Paper, Bell & Howell; he is
now chairman of International Paper and Canadian International Paper;
Robert W. Sarnoff, son of David Sarnoff, who founded the RCA empire;
and William Wrigley, chairman of the Wrigley Corporation, director of
Texaco and the Boulevard National Bank of Chicago.

No. 9 in world ranking is Eli Lilly Company, whose chairman Richard
D. Wood is also director of Standard Oil of Indiana, Chemical Bank
New York, Elizabeth Arden, IVAC Corporation, Cardiac Pacemakers
Inc. , Elanco Products, Dow Jones, Lilly Endowment, Physio-Control
Corporation, and the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy
Research, a supposedly rightwing thinktank in Washington where Jeane
Kirkpatrick reigns supreme. Directors of Lilly are Steven C. Beering,
born in Berlin, Germany, now president of Purdue University; he
served on numerous medical boards, Diabetes Association, Endocrine
Association and is a director of Arvin Industries; Randall H. Tobias,
is a director of the Bretton Woods Committee, has been with Bell
Telephone Labs since 1964, now director of AT&T and Home Insurance
Corporation; Robert C. Seamans, Jr. who was Secretary of the Air
Force from l969-1973,now director of the Carnegie Institute,
Smithsonian Museum and National Geographic Society (with Laurance
Rockefeller); He is also a director of Combustion Engineering, a firm
which is engaged in a number of deaIs with the Soviet Union, Putnams
Funds, a New England powerhouse investment firm; other directors of
Lilly are J. Clayton LaForce, a Fulbright scholar, now director of
the Rockefeller-funded National Bureau for Economic Research, and is
dean of the graduate school of management at the University of
California. LaForce is an influential member of the secretive Mont
Pelerin Society, which represents the Viennese school of economics, a
Rothschild sponsored enterprise which features Milton Friedman as its
mouthpiece-it is actually a pseudo-rightwing think- tank run by
William Buckley and the CIA. LaForce is also a trustee of the pseudo
rightwing thinktank, Hoover Institution of Stanford University, which
is run by two directors of the Rockefeller-funded League for
Industrial Democracy, the leading Trotskyite thinktank; Sidney Hook
and Seymour Martin Lipset. Other directors of Lilly are J. Paul Lyet
II, chairman of the giant defense firm Sperry Corporation-two-thirds
of its contracts are with government agencies; Lyet is also a
director of Eastman Kodak, which has just purchased Sterling Drug; he
is also a director of Armstrong World Industries NL Industries and
the Continental Group; Alva Otis Way III, president of American
Express, director of Schroder Bank and Trust, formerly chairman-also
director of Shearson Lehman, which now incorporates Kuhn, Loeb
Company and Lehman Brothers, director of Firemans Fund Insurance
Company and American International Banking Corporation, Warnex Ampex
Communications Corporation; C. William Verity, Jr., whose father
founded Armco Steel; a Yale graduate, Verity is now chairman of
Armco; he was recently appointed Secretary of Commerce to replace
fellow Yale man Malcolm Baldridge a director of the defense firm
Scovill Manufacturing-Baldridge had fallen off of a horse. Verity is
also a director of Chase Manhattan Bank, Mead Corporation and Taft
Broadcasting, Verity was chosen as Secretary of Commerce because of
his longtime record of agitation on behalf of the super-secret group,
the U.S.-U.S.S.R. Trade & Economic Council, also known as USTEC ,
whose records are classified as Top Secret-several lawsuits are now
under way to force the government to release USTEC documents under
the Freedom of Information Act, but so far government attorneys have
fought off all attempts to find out what this group is doing.
Supposedly a cordial group of well-meaning American businessmen
meeting with their smiling Soviet counterparts, USTEC was the
brainchild of a top KGB official, who promoted it at the 1973 summit
meeting between President Nixon and Brezhnev. The go-between was
Donald Kendall of Pepsicola, who had just concluded a major trade
deal with Russia; part of the price was Kendall's selling USTEC to
the White House Team. Without Kendall, USTEC might never have gotten
off the ground. The real goal of USTEC was voiced by H. Rowan Gaither
head of the Ford Foundation, when he was interviewed by foundation
investigator, Norman Dodd. Gaither complained about the bad press the
Ford Foundation was receiving, claiming it was unjustified. "Most of
us here," he exclaimed in self-exculpation, "were at one time or
another, active in either the OSS or the State Department, or the
European Economic Administration. During those times, and without
exception, we operated under directives issued from the White House,
the substance of which was to the effect that we should make every
effort to alter life in the United States so as to make possible a
comfortable merger with the Soviet Union."

[ Don's note: Better read that last sentence a few times! ]

USTEC is an important step in the merger program. Alva Way, president
of American Express serves on the board of Eli Lilly with C. William
Verity. Way's fellow executive, James D. Robinson III, who is
chairman of American Express, is a prime mover in USTEC, as is Robert
Roosa, partner in Brown Brothers Harriman investment banking firm,
who is executive officer of the Trilateral Commission. Other
important USTEC members are Edgar Bronfman, head of the World Zionist
Congress, chairman of Seagrams, the Bronfman family firm, and
controlling a sizeable part of DuPont's stock, 21%; Maurice
Greenberg, chairman of American International Group; Dr. Armand
Hammer, longtime friend of the Soviet Union, and Dwayne Andreas,
grain tycoon who is head of Archer-Daniels-Midland Corporation.
Andreas, who financed CREEP, the organization which brought about the
resignation of Richard Nixon from the presidency of the United
States, has on his board Robert Strauss, former chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, and Mrs. Nelson Rockefeller.

In 1972, a meeting was called in Washington at the ultra-exclusive F.
Street Club, which had long been the secret meeting pIace for the top
wheelers and dealers in Washington. Donald Kendall had invited David
Rockefeller, who had opened a branch of Chase Manhattan in Red
Square, Moscow, Helmut Sonnenfeldt of the State Department, who
reputedly had been Henry Kissinger's "control" when Kissinger came to
the United States as a double agent under Sonnenfeidt's patronage,
and Georgi Arbatov, the well known Soviet propagandist in the United
States. Arbatov told the group who Soviet Russia wanted on the board
of the prospective organization, which became USTEC. He wanted Dr.
Armand Hammer, Reginald Jones of General Electric, Frank Cary of IBM;
and Irving Shapiro, head of DuPont. USTEC's ostensible purpose was to
promote trade between the U.S. and Russia; its real purpose was to
rescue the floundering Soviet economy and save its leaders from a
disastrous revolution. The U.S. offered high technology, grain and
military goods; the Russians offered to continue the Communist
system.

The world's tenth largest drug firm is Upjohn, which is heavily into

Bristol-Myers is the 44th largest advertiser on the United States,
with an annual expenditure of $344 million, mostly in television and
advertising; this gives them a great deal of clout in dictating the
content of programs. Bristol-Myers is now pushing its new
tranquilizer, Buspar and its new anti- cholesterol drug, Questran,
which it expects to gross at least $100 million a year each. The
track record for anti-cholesterol drugs has revealed some disturbing
side effects, such as liver damage and other "unforeseen"
consequences.

American subsidiary does $500 million a year.

Number sixteen in world ranking is Bayer A.G. of Germany, one of the
three spin-offs from I.G. Farben cartel after World War II. Set up
under orders from the Allied Military Government, which was then
dominated by General William Draper of Dillon Read investment
bankers, Bayer is now larger than the original I.G. Farben. In 1977,
Bayer bought Miles laboratories and Germaine Monteil Perfumes, in
1981, it bought Agfa Gevaert, another spinoff of American I.G.
Farben, and in 1983 it bought Cutter Laboratories, a California firm
which was famed as having been set up to protect the Rockefeller
controlled drug firms in the great polio immunization wars. All of
the faulty polio vaccine was said to have been produced by Cutter,
freeing the Rockefeller firms from the threat of lawsuits. During the
1930s, Bayer operated Sterling Drug and Winthrop chemical companies
in the United States as subsidiaries of the giant I.G. Farben cartel.
Winthrop Chemical's president was George G. Klumpp, who had married
into the J.P. Morgan family. Klumpp was chief of the drug division of

of Budapest, gives his present address as 1730 Parque Via Reforma,

involving his wife. Chairman and president of Syntex is Albert
Bowers, born in Manchester, England, a Fulbright fellow and member of
the council at Rockefeller University; directors are Martin Carton,

millions. He then returned to government service as an official of
AID, president of the International Investment Corporation for
Yugoslavia 1969-1972, was appointed Under Secretary for Monetary
Affairs to the Treasury Department, 1977-1980, and succeeded Paul
Volcker as president of the key money market bank, the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, when David Rockefeller moved Volcker up to
become chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in 1980.
Solomon is also a director of Banca Commerciale Italiane.

Syntex is remembered for the mercurial rise in its stock when it
began to dump vast amounts of condemned drugs in backward overseas
countries. Its profits skyrocketed, as did its stock.

Number eighteen in world ranking is the former empire of Elmer Bobst,
Warner-Lambert. It is the number nineteen advertiser in the United
States, spending $469 million a year. Chairman of Warner-Lambert is
Joseph D. Williams, who is also director of Warner-Lambert
subsidiary, Parke-Davis, whose acquisition went through only because
Bobst had secured the presidency for his friend Richard Nixon.

Foundation ($30 million). She is also director of Irving Bank, the
American Council on Germany, ruling group of West Germany, Edmund A.
Walsh School of Foreign Service, and Georgetown Center for Strategic
and International Studies, all of which are the CIA preserves of
veterans Evron and Jeane Kirkpatrick. She is also director of the
Woodrow Wilson International Center and the Order of St. John of
Jerusalem. Thus we find that Martha T. Muse is a veritable directory
of top secret CIA worldwide operations.

The Tinker Foundation, like the Jacob Kaplan Fund, is one of the
super secret organizations which funnels money to the CIA for covert
activities too bizarre to be submitted to any government operations
center. The secretary of the Tinker Foundation is Raymond L.
Brittenham, who was born in Moscow, educated at the Kaiser Wilhelm
Institute in Berlin. He was general counsel for ITT, whose German
operations were headed by Baron Kurt von Schroder, personal banker to
Adolf Hitler. Brittenham was senior vice president for law at ITT,

Francais, trustee of Money Shares, High Income Shares and the Hoover
front, the Belgian-American Educational Foundation. Kirk is also
recipient of the Order of the British Empire, St. John of Jerusalem,
and is Commander of the Order of Orange-Nassau.

When Hoffman LaRoche made a strong bid for Sterling Drug in 1987, its
cause was advanced by Lewis Preston, head of the J.P. Morgan empire,
who was also banker for Sterling Drug. Publicity about his role
caused his retirement for J.P. Morgan Company. Sterling was then
bought by Eastman Kodak through funding from the Rockefellers. Kodak
banks at Chase Lincoln First Bank, which is wholly owned by Chase
Manhattan Bank. Kodak does $10 biIlion a year; its chairman is C. Kay
Whitmore, who is a director of Chase Manhattan Bank and Chase
Manhattan National Corporation. Directors of Kodak are Roger E.
Anderson, former chairman of Continental Illinois Bank until it
threatened to go under from mismanagement; he is now with Amsted
Industries, a $700 miIlion steel corporation. Anderson is also

Other directors of Kodak are Charles T. Duncan, dean of the law
school of Howard University, director of defense firm TRW, Proctor

Juanita Kreps is also director of Kodak, she was President Jimmy
Carter's Secretary of Commerce; she is now director of RJR Industries
and the New York Stock Exchange; she received the Stephen S. Wise
award. Also on the board of Sterling are John G. Smale, chairman of
Proctor and Gamble, director of General Motors; and Richard Mahoney,
chairman of Monsanto Chemical Company.

Because they are active in similar chemical formulations the leading
chemical firms are also closely interlocked with the major drug
producing firms. Richard Mahoney, director of Sterling Drug, is
chairman of Monsanto Chemical, a $7 billion a year firm. Mahoney
claims he is seeking a twenty per cent return on equity for Monsanto
this year. He is also director of Metropolitan Life lnsurance
Company, Centerre Bancorp, G. D. Searle. President of Monsanto is
